Great visual juxtapositions, as always!I love the book covers.... Do you know how often I style with books and covers, little details most often not ever noticed, but critical to me in setting the tone and vibe of a room/set/photo.May have to add the Wolfe to my collection. The Coddington is already on order.X

ashamed to admit that Look Homeward Angel is the only book I actually started and left unread. Intrigued by Pat Conroy intimating its strong influence on his writing...but did not have the intellectual endurance to finish it I suppose. Two kids running around didn't help. Your post reminds me perhaps it's time to revisit Mr. Wolfe where I left him in the mountains

Happy you are languishing... and in the mountains. Look Homeward Angel was one of my father's top picks. The CARVEN skirt, oh my... love! And, looking forward to Coddington's GRACE. Here's to summer + SEEing. ox

HOW THEY DECORATED

now available at Amazon

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
